Ranking all 9 Star Wars movies!

After the new Solo trailer being released, I thought it be right to rank every Star Wars movie from worst to best as I did with MCU movies, join us on this trip and be warned of controversy!

9. Episode II - Attack of the Clones (2002)

Attack of the clones was just as terrible as the first prequel episode, a pointless and dull plot that left us waiting for the movie to end, not a typical Star Wars movie trait. Although the high of this movie was to see Master Yoda in action for the first time ever, and epic scene in a disappointing film.

8. Episode I – The Phantom menace

The phantom menace actually left me more bored than its sequel, especially scenes that included the worst Star Wars character to date Jar Jar Binks, however what puts this just ahead was the final lightsaber sequence between Obi-Wan, Qui-Gon and the demonic Darth Maul. One word...Epic!

7. Rogue One – A Star Wars Story (2016)

Rogue one is without doubt an action-packed epic that ended 2016 with a blast! However, it also had a meaningless plot which had a small impact on the Star Wars universe and the directly tied movie A New Hope which follows in the Star Wars timeline. Although we do get to see Darth Vader shred rebels with his menacing red lightsaber glow!

6. Episode VII – The Force Awakens (2015)

The Force Awakens promised a worthwhile sequel to the original trilogy, returning with old characters and introducing the new! The Force Awakens was a huge success reaching the 3rd highest grossing film ever reaching above $2 billion, however after fans and critics alike applauding the J.J. Abrams production, some argued it was a copy of A New Hope. Do you agree? Comment below!

5. Episode IV – A New Hope (1977)

The one that started it all, one of films most successful movie series. Originally titled "Star Wars" A New Hope introduced iconic characters such as Luke, Leia, Han and Vader himself. Gave us an unparalleled plot including the infamous Death Star and of course the universally known Star Wars soundtrack. Brilliant from George Lucas!

4. Episode VI – Return of the Jedi (1983)

The epic finale to one of the greatest film trilogies, Luke Skywalker is a Jedi Knight and embarks on a journey to redeem his Father's sins and end the Empire for good. The Return of Jedi is the most action packed out of all the original movies with gun fights, excellent piloting and of course an epic lightsaber duel between father and son. A true classic!

3. Episode III – Revenge of the Sith (2005)

The best of the worst! Revenge of the Sith sadly sits amongst some of the worst films in Star Wars, this isn't the case with Episode III. Revenge of the Sith tells the tale of Anakin turning into Vader, it is a great story and of course has the best lightsaber sequences I have ever seen in any Star Wars movie. If I could use one word to describe this film, it would be underrated! If you agree make sure to comment below.

2. Episode VIII – The Last Jedi (2017)

I know, I know this is a bold move with some fans screaming in joy or even disgust. The Last Jedi is the most controversial Star Wars movie ever made. Personally, I think Rian Johnson did a spectacular job portraying the characters of Kylo Ren, Rey and of course Luke Skywalker. The action scenes are epic and every scene left me shocked. The Last Jedi is truly a classic for any Star Wars fan. Agree or Disagree? Comment below!

1 . Episode V – The Empire Strikes Back (1980)

One of the greatest films ever made. The Empire Strikes Back lives up to and surpasses A New Hope with Luke and Vader having their first lightsaber duel. Vader having captured the rebels and Han Solo being frozen in Carbon! The film also introduces longtime favourite master Yoda who trains young Luke and of course the evil Emperor Palpatine. The true success of the film is the unbelievable twist that no one saw coming, "I am your Father!". This was ultimately Vader's movie as the villains won. The Star Wars universe would never be the same!
